Actions in Albany to Prevent Unsafe Gas Drilling Tomorrow
Support Grassroots Actions in Albany Tomorrow
A coalition of groups will have a press conference in Albany tomorrow, Thursday July 7th, to call for a statewide ban on fracking and deliver a sign-on letter to Governor Cuomo asking to put scientific evidence and the health of New Yorkers over the interests of the oil and gas corporations. The New York State Department of Conservation has implied that drilling is unsafe by banning it in the New York City and Syracuse watersheds and other state lands. This action is to demand that all New Yorkers get the same protection.
When: 11:30 am
Location: Legislative Office Building, LCA Room 120, Albany, NY
In another development, tomorrow, Citizens Campaign for the Environment will be releasing the results from their mapping project of lands leased by gas developers throughout the 8 counties in the Finger Lakes Region of New York. These maps will show the extent to which this important agricultural and tourism region is seriously threatened by the impacts of the industrialization of the landscape by the gas industry.
When: 10:00 am
Location: Press Room, Legislative Office Building, LCA Room, Albany, NY
While your presence at these press conferences would be desirable, you can also make a strong statement by calling Governor Cuomo’s office to tell him that his plan to push hydraulic fracturing in New York State puts New Yorkers at too great a risk and must be abandoned. You can reach the Governor’s office by calling (518) 474-8390 and (212) 681-4580.
